= The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. It goes under
many names but. it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tions for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or underso-called
"depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source OF insanity snd crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they3 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Car vicious personal
habits; cur careless andlawless
eating a2l drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad Tnce after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow
crty; the use Of narcotics and
sti1nulant5; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or SUCCESS. So we
burn lifc's candle at both ends
and fill the luratic asylums
and the G7avayard5.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
fish, Ne@vous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated IN the Nerves and in
the organs Of Digestion, Aesim-
ilation and Nut zion. Healthy
digestion being i,npedel or des-
troyed, tie wnole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there IS no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-hendache
in the morning; persistent
dull heayires5 or aching at the
base Of the brain; waisefulness;
loss ofappatite and disgust with
food; loss OF mental energy and
interest il ordinary duties and
business; restle=sness and an0-
iety without any assignable
reason: eructotions; bad
breath; foul MUCOUS on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
pa!Pitatioa Of the heart; sal
1owness Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength ar3 ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
doDment OF the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual! case, and the
use OF .Sha5,er Ertract Of Boots
(SeigcTs 5yrup} to cure the
mischief already done, This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Comnunity OF Mt. Leb-
anon, 4. y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
Depsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordcred stom-
och, liver and kidneys, restor-
ING their tone and vjgor, pro-
noting die secretion Of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.

acts IS . -afe and wholesome
ancdyre without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function Of nutrition.
1t IS safe to say more nerv-
GUS dyspeptics have been re-
stored by Il from the depths
Of misery to q fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatnant
combined. .. -
